Should the following Tier 4: up to $60,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Community category be approved?

Abstract

Wanting to create a mental health hq as a central hub for people to find support, access materials, speak to professionals via discord calls or phone calls, meet other like minded people in a relaxing and safe location. Looking at starting with a 1x1 parcel then expanding.

I am hoping to help as many people as possible as i know mental health can be quite a challenge.

It will be run as a non for profit so any mana will go back into the staff, gain more resources, pay for land and host events for everyone.

mental health is not a joke and everyone deserves help and a safe place.

I really appreciate this proposal, I will be supporting this project 100%… None of us are perfect and we need a support system to help us grow, whether we want to ask for help or not… It isn’t easy to ask for help, even when it is being offered. I believe the Mental Health HQ will open up possibilities through conversations and other resources to help heal the world we are all apart of.

i think this would be a great project, but not something for the DAO to back. there is an incredible host of potential legal and ethical issues here - how are the volunteers vetted? what level of experience/ training do they need? how do you deal with medical confidentiality / patient privacy?

Answer those questions and then do this project with private funding if you wish, but i don’t believe it should be done through the DAO

Thank you so much for that feed back, couple questions i did not consider.

to be honest, if you haven’t considered those things you should 100% not be doing something like this.

I don’t doubt your good intentions but this is something which requires real training and experience. For a proposal of 25k i would expect to see your real world credentials as well as proof of a great deal of experience and a proven track record under your belt
